4.0

It’s amazing to me that Scooby-Doo is still going strong after so many years. And I still love the gang. Especially Velma.

“Investigating the Milky Way and Other Galaxies with Velma” by Ailynn Collins (pub date 01 Aug 2023) is part of a series of astronomy books for children from Capstone Press. Velma is our guide as we explore the fascinating subject of galaxies! It is a still a mysterious area of science so the Scooby-Doo connection is perfect. 

This book for young readers covers galaxies, dark matter and energy (spooky!) and many other things in the universe. I was especially delighted to read about the women who have pioneered research in this area! You know a book is good when you find yourself going down the rabbit hole (or should I say "black hole” mwa ha ha) after reading it. There are some big words to learn but not too many and I think any child (and many adults) would enjoy this informative and fun book! Just wish there were even more gorgeous photos.

My child is all grown up so I probably would have missed this book if not for NetGalley and Capstone Press. Thanks to them both!
